Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.
The Canon Speedlite 430EX II is a multi-feature flash unit for Canon
EOS cameras. It works automatically with E-TTL II, E-TTL, and TTL
autoflash systems. It can be used as an on-camera flash or as part of a
wireless flash system.
Read this instruction manual while also referring to your
camera’s instruction manual.
Before using the Speedlite, read this instruction manual and your camera’s
instruction manual to familiarize yourself with the Speedlite operations.
The basic operation is the same as with normal AE shooting.
When the 430EX II is attached to an EOS camera, almost all automatic
exposure control for flash photography is handled by the camera.
Although the 430EX II is an external flash unit, it works automatically and
seamlessly like the camera’s built-in flash.
It becomes automatically compatible with the camera’s flash
metering mode (E-TTL ll, E-TTL, and TTL).
In accordance with the camera’s flash control system, the Speedlite controls
the flash automatically in the respective flash metering mode:
1. E-TTL II autoflash (evaluative flash metering with preflash reading/lens
distance information)
2. E-TTL autoflash (evaluative flash metering with preflash reading)
3. TTL autoflash (off-the-film metering for real-time flash metering)
Regarding the camera’s available flash metering modes, refer to the
“External Speedlite” specification in the “Specifications” of your
camera’s instruction manual.
In the camera instruction manual, cameras having flash metering
modes 1 or 2 are called Type-A cameras (compatible with E-TTL II or
E-TTL). And cameras having flash metering mode 3(compatible only
with TTL) are Type-B cameras.
* This instruction manual assume that you are using the Speedlite with a Type-A
camera.
For Type-B cameras, see page 37.

settings match the same icons found on the camera and Speedlite.

remains in effect for 4 sec., 6 sec., or 16 sec. after you let go of the
button.

To avoid overheating and degrading the flash
head, do not fire more than 20 continuous
flashes. After 20 continuous flashes, allow a rest
time of at least 10 min.
If you fire more than 20 continuous flashes and
then fire more flashes in short intervals, the
inner overheating prevention function may be
activated to make the recycling time about 8 to
20 sec. If this occurs, allow a rest time of about
15 min. and the flash will then return to normal.
Cautions for firing continuous flashes

contacts are correctly oriented as
shown in the battery compartment.
3Close the cover.

Recycling Time and Flash Count
Based on new size-AA alkaline batteries and Canon’s testing standards.
Installing the Batteries
Recycling Time (Approx.) Flash Count (Approx.)
0.1 - 3.0 sec. 200 - 1400
Using size-AA batteries other than the alkaline type may cause improper
battery contact due to the irregular shape of the battery contacts.
If you change the batteries after firing many flashes continuously, be
aware that the batteries might be hot.
Use a new set of four batteries of the same brand. When replacing the
batteries, replace all four at one time.
Size-AA Ni-MH or lithium batteries can also be used.
